Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses.
My first question will be for Mr. Salkeld.
We heard our witnesses from Poland describe energy efficiency in Ukraine as poor and well below European Union averages. There was some discussion as well about the challenges of trying to improve that efficiency and about how simply raising the cost would create some social challenges there.
What role do you see Canadian companies potentially being able to play in the improvement of energy efficiency, and what time frame are we able to deal with in that regard?
You talked about the medium and long-term game, and I think when we're talking about those aspects of conventional or unconventional drilling, or moving things to market there, it does make sense that it would be a medium to long-term game.
But in terms of Canadian expertise and energy efficiency, surely we must have companies that are able to deliver some more immediate solutions to those challenges.
Maybe I could get you to talk about that a little bit, if you have any insight.
